Long plantar ligament

The plantar ligament longum ( " long sole band ") is the strongest band in the sole of the foot. It originates at the heel bone. His deep fibers are attached to the cuboid bone and are called plantar ligament calcaneocuboideum or plantar ligament breve. The superficial fibers coat the tendon of the peroneus longus and form four strands that attach to the base of the second through fifth metatarsal.

Functionally stabilized the tape both the ankle and the tarsometatarsal joints. It plays an important role in the tensioning of the longitudinal arch of the foot.
